Nowadays, there is a great social concern regarding the growing accumulation of the wastes derived from intensive greenhouse agriculture in the environment, particularly in those areas where an intensive agricultural activity is concentrated. The inadequate management of these wastes causes the generation of unmanageable environmental problems...

The reduction of CO2 emissions from anthropogenic sources in this century will require a higher reliance on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Post-combustion based on a regenerative chemical absorption is considered a mature and close-to-market option in near and mid-term. However, the high energy penalty related to solvent...

This work evaluates and selects the best sequence of operations for the pretreatment of greenhouse agricultural wastes (GAW) derived from the main greenhouse crops of the west of Almeria (Spain), such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchinis, watermelons and melons, before recovering its potential energy in a cement plant located...

The inclusion of membrane-based oxygen-fired combustion in power plants is considered an emerging technology that could reduce carbon emissions in a more efficient way than cryogenic oxygen-fired processes. In this paper, a techno-economic assessment was developed for a 863 MWₑₗ,ₙₑₜ power plant to demonstrate whether this CCS technique results...

Historically, the emission of particles from clinker kiln stacks has been one of the main environmental concerns in cement manufacturing processes. Up to now, environmental regulations have only focused on determining and controlling filterable particulate matter (FPM) in industrial emission sources. However, in recent years a growing interest...

Chemical absorption is the most effective and mature post-combustion alternative that might be applied for carbon capture in fossilfuel power plants and other energy-intensive industries such as cement production, refineries and iron and steel manufacturing. In respect to the cement production, inherent CO2 emissions produced during the...

This work provides a wide overview of the state-of-art of the CO2 chemical absorption applied to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. The objective is not only to provide the current status of the technology and the research and development activities carried out towards its deployment in the CCS field, but also to identify the future...

In this work, the use of biomethane produced from local biogas plants is proposed as renewable fuel for light marine transport. A profitability analysis is performed for three real biogas production plants located in Cornwall (United Kingdom), considering a total of 66 different scenarios where critical parameters such as distance from...

Despite the industrial sector accounts for about a quarter of total final consumption worldwide and great efforts have been carried out to reduce its energy use in the last decades, there are still substantial oppor tunities to improve industrial energy efficiency. Among those opportunities, energy management sys tems (EMSs) are one of the most...

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are considered the major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The mitigation of this kind of CO2 emissions relies on a portfolio of alternatives where CO2 absorption appears as the nearest approach to be applied at industrial scale. Researchers have been focused on developing new formulations of...
